From: Willem de Bruijn <[email protected]> Add two pacing hardware offload variants 1. one that uses FQ to safely offload when within bounds. 2. one that uses pfifo_fast and thus forwards all packets. Verify that the packets are paced in hardware with new flag '-H'. Also increase rcvtimeout significantly to reduce flakiness. Especially for the new beyond_hw_horizon test, which is close to the 100ms limit. But update recv_verify_empty to take MSG_DONTWAIT. That last empty check must not delay each testcase by the receive timeout. Hardware pacing offload can complete packets out of order. So the reverse_order test is expected to pass with pfifo_fast too. Do not test ETF, which does not change its dequeue behavior based on pacing_offload_horizon. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <[email protected]> --- Changes v3 -> v4 - replace ethtool with rtnetlink APIs - expect_fail: correctly handle negative test pfifofast beyond_hw_horizon, also when KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW suppresses timing errors - commit-msg: clarify that rcvtimeout increase is also needed for beyond_hw_horizon test - define the horizon (50ms) once, rather than three times - leave cfg.require_ipver in place v2 -> v3 - remove drivers/net/settings timeout change: superseded by recent commit - add reverse_order comment v1 -> v2 - re-raise NlError from e (patchwork pylint) - simplify expect_pass test (patchwork pylint) --- .../testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.c | 4 +- .../selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.py | 75 ++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.c b/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.c index 951312e67b66..9028f9e5a411 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.c @@ -155,7 +155,7 @@ static void do_recv_verify_empty(int fdr) char rbuf[1]; int ret; - ret = recv(fdr, rbuf, sizeof(rbuf), 0); + ret = recv(fdr, rbuf, sizeof(rbuf), MSG_DONTWAIT); if (ret != -1 || errno != EAGAIN) error(1, 0, "recv: not empty as expected (%d, %d)", ret, errno); } @@ -379,7 +379,7 @@ static int setup_tx(struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t alen) static int setup_rx(struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t alen) { - struct timeval tv = { .tv_usec = 100 * 1000 }; + struct timeval tv = { .tv_usec = 600 * 1000 }; int fd; fd = socket(addr->sa_family, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.py b/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.py index adf6c848d6d8..24a686eda562 100755 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.py +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/so_txtime.py @@ -12,7 +12,9 @@ import time from lib.py import ksft_exit, ksft_run, ksft_variants from lib.py import KsftNamedVariant, KsftSkipEx from lib.py import NetDrvEpEnv, bkg, cmd, defer, tc +from lib.py import RtnlFamily, NlError +_HW_OFFLOAD_HORIZON_MS = 50 def test_so_txtime(cfg, clockid, ipver, args_tx, args_rx, expect_success): """Main function.
